Post by: LVGaryD on October 24, 2011, 10:22:04 PM
I guess this egotistical plick doesn't like it when people don't capitalize the G in FitxGerald. Or FitxJegarld...whatever the f**k his name is.

Well Edwood, tough shit.  noway

Hey , I hate to defend a democrat, but I think any boss would want his employees to spell his name right on official documents. I looked up the meaning of Cuyahoga("crooked river").  There is a Cuyahoga National Park.  That's one national park I've never been to as yet.   I'll have to add it to my list.

But his senior staff's grammar and proofreading can still suck, as long as they spell his name right.

"Effective immediately, regardless of deadlines or emergencies, Ed will no longer sign letters, contracts, documents, etc. that does (sic) not have his name spelled properly (Edward FitzGerald)," FitzGerald's administrative assistant Tanya Hairston wrote. "Additionally, please remember that his last name does have a capital G and should be used accordingly (what should?). I have also be informed (sic) to please return any documents that does not conform with his instructions to the sender."

Tanya, has be informed that she do butcher the English Language far too often in this statement. idunno

Good to run through.  But really its mostly just trees and biking/walking/jogging paths with some of those paths along rivers.  Not worth the travel to see.

It seems like there is a legit reason for the people to get it right.

Gary, are you serious about deer eating morels?  I've never heard that. But it would help explain why they're getting harder to find.

Oh yes, deer love them! And those deer deserve to be shot just because they are stealing my morels!

Deer also like to eat animal crackers, biscuits, cornbread, apple pie, enriched wheat hamburger buns, green beans, tomato plants, pepper plants, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

I have an ethnic last name that often gets spelled or pronounced wrong. If I got pissy about it, I'd be pissy my entire life. So what's the point?

People who look for an insult at every turn will find them. Almost everybody lives their busy lives without time to actually
think about insulting you. Just get over yourself.
